Ingredients

The following ingredients have 120 Servings
  • 2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1/4 cup flour (all-purpose or self-rising)
  • 2 tbsp finely diced onions (optional)

Instruction

  • Mix the egg into the mashed potatoes with a fork until well blended. Add the flour and onions (if using onions) and mix well. The mixture will be very stiff.
  • Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of oil into a cast-iron skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Scoop out heaping tablespoons of mixture into the hot oil. Dip the back of a spoon into the oil and then the mashed potato mixture to flatten to about a 1/4-inch thick. By dipping the back of the spoon into the oil, the spoon will not stick to the potatoes, making flattening them much easier.
  • Fry until golden brown and then flip and continue to brown the potato patty on the other side.
  • Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to serve.
